This operational research aimed to assess the feasibility in settings like Delhi (high transfers out of state, tuberculosis burden, and population density) and provide therapeutic nutrition (oral liquid Formula75) with a focus on inpatient care for very severely undernourished (one of the conditions identified during triaging) adults with tuberculosis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      This was a longitudinal descriptive study among public notified adults (\u226515 y) with tuberculosis.

Of 216 triage-positive in the January to June 2024 cohort, 75 had very severe undernutrition along with the provision of Formula 75, with a mean of 1085 mL consumption per day. Of these 75, 44 (59%) were unable to stand without support at admission, and this reduced to 11 (15%) on day 7. A total of 52 (69%) were stabilized and shifted to a high protein diet after a mean of 4 days (standard deviation: 2).
